action
Student Alex is spending a weekend with three friends in a remote wooded area in the Appalachian Mountains of West Virginia . After they went on a whitewater tour, they wanted to prepare their campground on the river bank when the cannibal "Three Fingers" appeared and killed Alex's friends. Alex manages to remain undetected and escapes into the forest alone.
Meanwhile, prison warden Nate Wilson prepares in West Virginia prison to transfer some prisoners to another ward. Five prisoners ride a prison bus with Nate and two other prison guards on a secret route through a forest to their destination. During a break in a small police station, Nate meets an old friend, the sheriff, who was good friends with his father.
Nate, Walter and the other guard continue driving through the woods with the inmates. Suddenly a tow truck appears, pushing the bus off the road. The bus overturns and Walter is seriously injured. The occupants make it out of the bus with Nate. However, through a trick by Carlo Chavez, the captive's leader, and Floyd, Chavez's accomplice, Nate is disarmed. The other overseer who came to Nate's aid is killed by "Three Finger" throwing a knife in the neck. Nate saves his injured colleague Walter from the bus. The prisoners begin to fight their way through the forest with the guards Nate and Walter under the command of Carlo Chavez and soon encounter the fearful Alex.
On their way through the forest, the group finds an old, abandoned money truck and takes the money there with them after Chavez killed the warden Walter after an attempt to rescue them.
“Three Finger” repeatedly sets treacherous traps for those fleeing, killing two of the five prisoners. The sheriff, who has since gone on a search and finds the group in the forest, is killed by a spear from "Three Finger". Later Floyd, who fled alone with the money found after he was beaten up by Chavez, is burned by "Three Fingers" along with the money.
When the now remaining Chavez, the prisoner Brandon, Nate and Alex meet "Three Fingers" again, the cannibal kidnaps Alex and takes her to his hut. Brandon knocks Chavez down and escapes separately from Nate, who sets out to free Alex. Chavez regains consciousness, but dies after a violent duel with "Three Fingers". Nate frees Alex from the hut and the two flee in the tow truck. But when "Three Finger" intervenes again, the two lose control of the vehicle. Brandon comes to the aid of Nate and Alex and frees them from the car. Nate then apparently kills "Three Fingers" with his own meat hook. Nate tells Brandon that he's going to pass him off as dead, so no one will be looking for him. Nate and Alex sit down on the street, shortly afterwards the sun rises and several police cars arrive to pick them up.
At the end of the film you can see how Nate has returned to the abandoned money truck in the forest and wants to take the remaining money. He is shot from behind with an arrow by Brandon who suddenly appears. Brandon is in turn killed by "Three Finger", who is not dead, when he collects the money.
publication
The film was released in Germany for sale and distribution with the SPIO / JK label “criminally harmless”, but it took around 1.5 minutes to make cuts. In addition, since films with this label are not allowed to be advertised and can be confiscated, an FSK - no youth release version was published, which has cuts of around 7 minutes in length. The film has not been dubbed entirely in German and is only available in full abroad. In March 2013 the shortened SPIO / JK version was finally placed on list B of the media harmful to minors. List B of media harmful to minors contains films which, in the opinion of the BPjM, are subject to a general ban on distribution. A court must examine the criminal relevance.
In the United States, DVD sales generated approximately $ 5.68 million.
criticism
The Rotten Tomatoes website received four reviews - all negative. The horror film magazine Bloody Disgusting wrote: " If WT2 raised the bar, then WT3 lowers it right back down to where it was, and possibly a notch or two lower ." (If Wrong Turn 2 has increased the demands, then Wrong Turn 3 has lowered this level to the original value, or maybe one or two levels lower)
